Hi everyone - things move very fast at Blueprint. Things I mentioned in the video but have now discontinued: • Adipeau, no measurable effects thus far • that brand of electrolytes as I found them to be high in contaminants • raw ginger didn’t work as a tea • the statin I was taking • ketones are now intermittent
Ok, the answer to your question about my opinion of you now is... you appear to be crazier and more eccentric But I still appreciate that you are putting yourself and your experiment out there. You have my support and best wishes. Thank you for your effort.
What was your rationale for discontinuing the statin? There's a school of thought that decreasing your ldl-c as much as possible (including statin use) may prevent future atherosclerotic disease
I don’t get why Bryan gets any hate at all. He’s literally living his life as an experiment so that we can live a longer healthier life. Pretty admirable! 🤷
Yeah I agree. But it’s also obviously because he’s wealthy. Combine wealth with being “different”. And you’ll get a lot of hate. Ppl relate emotion to having or not having. So they will always feel victimized by him. Which is sooo dumb lol. Like the simpsons say. It’s a funny thing about advertising. If you stop looking eventually it goes away.
I have negative feelings towards him since I found out he injected himself with his son's blood. That was it for me. It has nothing to do with his wealth. Yet, here I am for the cool tech! I had to know and am glad I watched that part... I wonder about the vagus nerve stimulator. Gunna check that out.
@@billr8829just plasma treatment, they make it sound as he is some vampire. I am donating blood regularly which is helping some ppl i never met. Why wouldn't i do it then if that could help my own parents? No harm done
Not sure if I m the only one but my favorite part of this video is when Bryan was correcting himself saying his perception is a clean tongh fix bad breath. Super impressed how down to earth and honest to himself is. So many people (including myself) preach our own bliefs as truth. It takes courage to admit what one's perception is not verified and might not be true.
@@Taylor-odHe said low dosed accutane, which is definitely prescribed by his team of doctors and scientists. Even if there's still potential risk, it's already properly calculated and considered the positive and negative. Your commoner logic doesn't apply to him. He's not contradicting anything. And whatever raw lamb liver the other guy is saying is most likely isn't any better than the well tested, and evidently efficacious accutane. Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's better, or doesn't have any side effects. Accutane is well researched and tested, whereas raw lamb liver isn't.
Try to start as early as possible. Bryan is an athlete, so you dont have to go as far. The dessert and superveggie with advocado is very doable in my opinion. I add in red curry with lower amount of lentils. Then you already have low carb and lots of vegetables. Mass produce it for a month with a big freezer. Easy , quick doable in my opinion.
"If you can pack the entire regimen in a suitcase, it can't be that hard to follow" it's what I thought by the end of the video. Convinced more and more to adopt it more.
I think the regimen is doable, but the saying "May not live longer, but definitely feels longer." Has never been more true. Good luck eating and drinking the same thing everyday
@@ImAlanCarnage I mean, I see people around me eating the same fast food every day, sooo... But I agree the eating part is difinitelly the hardest. In the same longevity space I see other people eating a comparable nutritional profile but different dishes, makes me think that Bryan eats the same meals everyday for the sake of siplicity and convenience rather than necessity.
@@vimore01 If eating the same stuff every day stresses you out too much, it defeats the purpose of eating it, as too much psychological distress causes faster aging.
@@mAny_oThERSs I've personally found eating the same thing and being able to batch meal-prep has taken a lot of stress out of my weekly routine. I definitely feel a lot healthier and happier after trying the blueprint diet. Its funny because I actually went in assuming it wouldn't work for me at all.
@@vimore01 Yeah good point maybe he does it just to keep it simple. I always wonder if you could get 80 percent of the benefits by just taking all the pills, eating pretty well and necking olive oil
Bryan, you need to go to like one of those japanese scalp centres, they look at your hair through a microscope and they have a bunch of tips on things like red light, and like improving circulation etc and those scalp massage brushes are literally SO GOOD!
@@eliemsiam Theyve become really popular in the past five years, super popular in korea too! i would reccomend checking google maps and going by the highest reviewed!
Hi Brian from Lochness Sottish Highlands. .I would put your snap clip containers and body products in the tin and vacuum seal them in a vacuum seal bag.. Stops the product moving around and is flat.. The bags are clear so no guesswork required on contents and can labelled if necessary and RE-USED...Food saver do bags and the machine, and of course commercial vacuuming machines for the home are also worth a look as it is the chamber that is vacuumed along with the product.. From a chef/ auxiliary nurses perspective I prefer the commercial vacuum chamber type.. for its longevity... No oxidation, as no oxygen present after the process is complete.. Kindness your way.. Lochness Scottish Highlands..
@@60Airflyte I understand the reason avoiding plastic in direct contact with the food. But this is putting the tins in a vaccuum bag. So that is different in my opinion.
Based on what has been show!!! I could be be wrong but PLASTICS are evident in his packing including the bottles that are plastic!!! along with the plastic bags his pills were stored in... The lids on some of his containers are plastic.. The tape being used to secure the boxes contain PLASTIC .. SEEMS less of an issue than some are making it be!!! by the evidence on display"" I could be wrong"
Love these videos! I think genetics is a huge indicator in how you age. Im turning 30 and often people think Im early 20s. My parents look youthful for their age. I just do the standard staying active, no smoking or drinking but the rest is not monitored. But moving forward I'd like to expand on what I'm doing and be a bit more purposeful with vitamins, sleep, etc. Thank you for taking the time to curate something to share with us! 😊
God bless you, people need to change before it's too late, we are thankful to individuals like you, keep going with more motivation and ideas than the day before.
Do you ever get into the high stress zone on your whoop? Steve Jobs had a uniform so he didn’t have to waste time making a decision on what to wear. You should make a blue print uniform that’s stylish and 100% organic cotton 😊
I can't see eccentric Bryan doing that. 😅 I like wearing generic, uniform-like clothing even when I don't have to (although I wear something more interesting when socializing). Call me boring, but I have more important things to think about.
I don't think this is a good idea, at least any time soon. He's not a clothing company. Would be cool to wear a high quality shirt and be "part of the club" and recognize others, but no need to dilute focus when right now he's optimizing his own protocol and then working on getting it available to the masses through product line
Safe travels! Really appreciate your mindset , sharing knowledge with transparency. Rare gem. Science is always the effort of process disproving yourself, you jump those hurdles and try again. Wishing you the best of your endeavors but, hope on this travel, you may have time to relax ! You’ve got this
@@thinkingallowed6485 I have always wondered about this. I just looked up what a comma splice is. So I have probably been doing this a while. I have no idea how to use a ; but would that have been better?
How the heck does Bryan make it through a foreign countries baggage check with all of those unlabeled mystery powders?!! "...ah, this is don't die in a bag" ? yes, that will make total sense to the inspector. Next we'll see Blueprint in a Saudi prison.
He’ll likely be pulled up for inspection on it, but the inspectors have machines that will tell them what it is comprised of chemical-wise. But the image your comment generated made me chuckle 🤣
10:08 I’d love to learn more about the vagus nerve. I hear so much about this but never know what to do. I really love the details in packing and you’ll be comfortable away from home.
Your journey and the information you are providing is super interesting to follow. Recently I am almost obsessed with your RU-vid Channel. Super excited to see what is there to come in the future.
I travel constantly for work. I've been carrying blueprint around with me and these are some great tips. I also pack a spoon and shaker bottles bc you don't always know if the hotel will have dishes and utensils. Thanks for the tips!
I've also used a tongue scraper for years now, but never done an N1 study on the comparison. I live with a doctor who says we need our oral biome to be as it is - provided it's healthy - so she is against daily tongue scraping because it potentially loses the benefits of a healthy oral biome. But I still prefer to use it. I think my oral biome is healthy. Never had any issues with bad breath.
Bryan also uses essential oil tea tree for mouth wash. Alnough he has lots of good advice, I wont be taking that before there is research. Find it risky to be tinkering with the microbiome
@@charliepan4055 if I had an unhealthy oral biome I would 100% want to tinker with it. But if there is no bad breath, no cavities forming… then yeah. No tinker tinker.
It's interesting to hear that he takes ketones directly, without stimulating ketosis or utilizing a ketogenic diet. Perhaps it's narrowing the focus on maximizing the benefit while dodging the unintended physiological consequences of the road to get to the beneficial component.
There is a study that taking it alone already helps. On the other side lets hope that there wont come research that finds out MCT is negative because of it being a processed oil for example.
Watching your products I am stunned with the products you use with all the chemicals!! Arms and hammer deodorant?? Cerve? You must not be concerned about your liver and kidneys!! All your efforts and you’re not worried about topical chemicals. Interesting
Bro going off to Dubai in the hottest month of the year. Good luck bro, you will need to be covered up from head to toes in black to avoid those UV lights.
So many products, so many treatments, so much testing, so many rules, so much self-absorption...it all seems so unnecessary and obsessive! But I am happy you found something that works for you.
There is one study that showed aspirin reduced the efficacy of minoxidil on hair. Besides it wreaks havoc on one's stomach, I would withdraw aspirin and statins if it were me, but I know nothing. I take acarbose and metformin though.
He acts like Accutane pills are like some harmless supplements 💊 accutane is Not 🚫 something you take for acne breakout you get from a laser! Accutane is a serious risky drug!
I absolutely LOVE that you're continually trying (and measuring the impact of) new interventions (which I suspect must cross some sort of evidential threshold to even get on the door). I would say about your project what Robert Bigelow, Gary Nolan and Tyler Smith suggest regarding the likelihood of ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence): how people react is a kind of intelligence test about them, not so much about you and your project.

hey brother, I really hope you read this, I work in stroke management and develop primary stroke centers. Let me tell you that Statins do not do anything good for you. They’re hindering your capacity to build cholesterol which is absolutely essential for health and studies from which they derive their efficacy have been statistically manipulated to show a reduction and heart attacks but it’s not true. Look into the research and learning for yourself but I just wanted to let you know that tip.
Could I ask how exactly your job in 'stroke management' affirms this view and if possible which studies back you up? I too am dubious about mainstream medicines view on arterial plaques origins/management but there must be a middle ground.
Your PR treatment is improving amazingly! Your kindness in share your whole process is inspiring as ever, but its pretty remarkable how well and fluid the communication and process is getting! Cheers!
I feel like a video or elaboration on the Accutane is warrented. There is a whole sub reddit dedicated to people who have SEVRE acne and putting up with tons of crappy side effects because they have no other way to make their acne go away. I can't wrap my head around how it wouldn't be giving Bryan tons of negative effects.
I make my ginger tea by slicing a thumb's worth or more, adding cinnamon, cloves, cardamon.Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 min.Sometimes I add licorice root tincture for sweetness or my homegrown hibiscus for a heart healthy tea. I put this concentrate in a jar and put in refrigerator. Use as needed. Why a statin? My doc wanted to put me on it for elevated cholesterol at 65...I said nope and went totally plant based and tested every few months for a year(request a test) at 71 so far doing without drugs🤞Keep us informed on that lumbrokynse for lungs...Thank You for testing it and stay safe and healthy! P.S. Love your V.O.O.
Yes I was trying to see what brand the flouride-free toothpaste he is using is but even if you zoom-in it’s out of focus so impossible to see which brand it is. Hey @BryanJohnson please can you let us know which brand of F-F toothpaste you use? Thanks in anticipation 🙏🏽
I think everything you're doing is sensible and admirable. We are stuck with complex and fragile biological organisms and it makes complete sense to take care of them in the best way possible. Few people are able to care for their organisms in the meticulous way you do due to financial constraints and also there is a certain level of disregard for the reality of biological fragility. In any event, keep up the good work. You are leading the way to a brighter future for humanity.
fluoride is shit and there's no need for it to be in your toothpaste, your tap water etc. a far better way to support the enamel is to keep exposure to acidic stuff as short as possible and as low in intensity as possible, always flush your mouth with water after meals, only brush your teeth hours after your last meal so the enamel can repair itself and doesn't get damaged by the brush (it's softened after eating). there's no need whatsoever for fluoride in this equation.
Electric toothbrushes are plastic, and so are the bristles in the toothbrush head. Are you really sure you want to be rubbing plastic all inside your mouth and then swallowing the microplastics later after you spit? The best toothbrush is a plastic-free manual toothbrush made with bamboo and boar's hair. You can get plastic-free toothpaste tabs with fluoride and store them in your own container.
@@Jj-uv6mi Why are you even watching videos like this if you don't care about health?! Also, less plastic is better than more plastic. Just because you can't be 100% plastic-free doesn't mean reducing it isn't helpful.
@@FHer-kb7gb Exactly. We should do the best we can to reduce plastic wherever possible. Sometimes it's impossible and that's sucks, but many times there are actually ways to reduce it. It's the same idea for overall health. Someone who puts a bit of effort into their health will be healthier than someone who doesn't do anything.
I really appreciate your advice on the blood flow while sleeping and would like to know more about that. Great Video. I think this is my first comment on this channel
Respect to all the efforts you have tried Bryan, but one of the main reason for you to stay young i think is your curiosity, keep wanting to learn new things, as well as your humor and positivity
Because your hair falls out as you age, and longevity and aging is more than just internal. Tricking your mind into thinking you are younger by looking and feeling younger. It makes sense to me to focus on appearance too.
To all the hardworking individuals who may struggle to implement Blueprint protocols due to time or resources, I want to say that doing what you can is commendable. It doesn’t diminish your value or importance in the world. While Bryan Johnson’s approach is fascinating and can be beneficial specifially i think to raise consciousness and awareness, ultimately, the goal is not to live forever. Its to get your act together and align yourself properly along all the dimensions of your being, and that's the way that all of being is redeemed. Finally a thought I had yesterday and why sleep is so important. When we sleep we escape the shackles of embodiment and cast our consciousness into the cosmos sleep well my fellow humans 😊
This guy always talks about fluoride free age shows sensodyne which doesn’t make a fluoride free toothpaste. I need an explanation (mostly about why he skips the fluoride).
There’s no essential function for fluoride in your body, not even for dental health. Besides that, it’s in the same category as toxic metals, but you need to intake a lot of concentration to have serious symptoms (even your tap water have some concentration of heavy metals and fluoride).
you sound very committed to this and your self-effacing humor is good - but don't apologize too much for being precise and having quirks in the plan, you are clearly iterating and improving and you are being scientific and data - just say "if it seems like we're going a bit OTT here, it's just so we get the best data for you"
Cannot wait til you create the tiny house, clothing line, all toiletry products, furniture. You are the new Amazon/Martha Stewart/official consumer testing (minus the BS). Please continue!!
Very disappointed Brian, really wanted to see the clothing you packed. Anyway, just wanted to say, anytime I feel tempted to eat something unhealthy, I watch one of your videos instead, puts me right back on track to what's important. MY HEALTH.
I love watching your videos and starting new way of eating today. If you can help people with tinnitus, you will make millions of people happy. The ringing in the ears almost makes us go insane. Any advice on this?
Wow, I once had a friend just like you who practically had a pharmacy because he experimented with supplementation so much. Incidentally he was in the medical field. Very smart guy, very inventive thought process. I’m curious what your protocols have to say about heart health. Something I’ve learned is that heart rate variability, and more specifically, placing the heart under a variety of conditions is good for it. Recently I’ve been laying down on my back with my whole legs up against the wall and with my arms raised to the ceiling; the idea being that, the extra blood flowing down from the legs and arms in this position will place the heart under higher flow pressure and moreover, place it into an unusual condition.
When you mentioned the blood flow thing I almost shook with excitement because those things are what I believe is important about what you do. Your are right, who else would? Now that this and other things like it are out, we can then see ideas bloom.
Hey Bryan, I ordered your blueprint and have been using it for about 1.5 months. I did a blood test before and after. So far the results have been mind blowing. I did a DNA test recently and most of the supplements recommended there were in blueprint. Pretty cool 🙏🏻
Hey Bryan, I hope you read this comment. I use to not like you that much, I've grown to like you more and more the more I hear you talk. I love your nuanced thinking and philosophical standpoints. You seem like someone who is constantly doubtful and evaluating whether you are correct or incorrect. We as people are often probably more incorrect than correct, we are also not designed to be perfect. I think what you are doing from a physical health perspective is a work of art. I do think what you are doing from an aesthetic point of view is probably only due to how other people perceive your progress. Grey hairs, blemishes etc.... All these things don't matter. If the treatments you are doing to improve those aesthetic biomarkers are costing you progress in other areas don't do it. I think Accutane is a bombshell to drop in a one liner. I've never met anyone who has taken that medicine and been the same afterwards. It is damaging your cells, fucking with your entire psychology as well. Low doses in one country might not be low doses in another as well. For instance i know people who have taken 5mg per day and were horribly effected just like many others. All for what? Some blemishes? You are a beautiful looking person, and what none of those treatments are capturing is your multifaceted personality. Please drop the accutane for your own benefit.
The biggest problem for people who are sick is the money that has to be spent along with the trial and error of figuring out what exactly can help them get better, all while not having the brain capacity to do this because they are sick. The youtuber @physicsgirl comes to mind as an extreme case, who essentially has mast cell activation syndrome from covid and has been bedridden for months, her husband desperately trying to figure out what works. It breaks my heart. Longevity is one thing but there are people who have recovered from pretty disastrous metabolic situations and generalized metabolic recovery needs to be studied to help people recover.
Hey Bryan, you think you're a monster at traveling? You haven't met my wife yet!!!! She was like this before blueprint entered our lives. Now she's twice as bad. Your packing is kid stuff compared to her. Her only suggestion to your routine for packing is to get someone to do it for you who is great at organizing like she did, me her husband!!! Also, is your collagen peptide vegan??? We have been looking for a great collagen for my wife to start supplementing with. Do you recommend any particular one??? Thanks, love you content and protocols!!!
